VIDEO: Bumble bee gives man a 'high five'

A YouTube clip of a bumble bee 'high fiving' a man has been watched millions of times online.

The dozy bee is given a couple of gentle prods in the clip, posted on July 7, before it raises a limb and gently touches a man's finger.

The clip is captioned with the remark: "Bee Gives a High Five....well, I thought it was pretty cool. Ok I'd had a beer, or two."
